This thread: Women’s free skate press conference #Beijing2022
Trusova: I did do 5 quads - it took me a long long time to achieve this, so I'm really happy with my performance. #Beijing2022
Trusova [about her comments earlier]: For the past 3yrs, I haven't won anything - any important competitions. I was trying to explain this - I was trying to achieve lofty goals, and have more quads. When I did it, I thought I would win. That's how it is #Beijing2022
Sakamoto: I was very surprised that I won bronze. I am simply quite happy. #Beijing2022
Sakamoto: The past 4yrs were very challenge, I struggled during those years. My coaches were very helpful - they didn't give up on me. I am happy I could finish better than at PyeongChang. I am quite happy #Beijing2022
Sakamoto: Wakaba came over to me -almost crying while she congratulated me. After my performance, I was in the green room with her. And when Anna skated, she had to leave the green room, so I told her, I'll catch up with you soon! I never imagined I would get a medal #Beijing2022

Meanwhile, in between pairs practice and the pairs competition, there’s gala practice (!!) - Nathan Chen, Boyang Jin, and Vincent Zhou #Beijing2022
Boyang Jin skating to Westlife’s cover of Sarah McLachlan’s Angel for the exhibition. I thought I was in an ASPCA commercial with sad dogs. #Beijing2022
No music runthrus here but I’m pretty sure I just saw Caravan choreography #Beijing2022

This thread: Yuzuru Hanyu post-competition press conference (starting at 5:30pm local time) #Beijing2022 Image
Moderator: We are holding this press conference because we have received many requests and we don’t have the time to hold all the individual interviews #Beijing2022
Hanyu: I am very surprised that so many people have gathered today - thanks for the opportunity to speak to you all. The Olympics are held in the closed loop - social distancing is very difficult in the mixed zone, so I wanted to do this press conference here #Beijing2022

Chen: I’m so proud of the US for having two medalists now. This competition was awesome. It’s always great to compete in Japan and to compete in front of a sold-out crowd. It’s great for the sport #WorldFigure
